After being in Perth yesterday and feeling and hearing those rabid animals. I feel we need to do more at our home games. We need to turn the mcg into a frickin fortress and make it uncomfortable for away teams!Ā

The answer is winning

Pure and Simple.Ā 

Hopefully all the bandwagoners who jumped on & showed up for the 2 finals actually sign up as members & come to games next year. We clearly had more support at the first 2 finals, like to see these people show up from day 1 next year. Should get 50k membersĀ 

Ā 

Agree with all..

Would be great I’d we could create a better home ground atmosphere.

Tigers have drums playing when they enter the ground and the Hawks and others use the scoreboard to have a visual with sound when they goal!

Cant we do something unique but similar in 2019. Make the G at fortress that other sides fear when they meet the Demons !

Agree, we have heaps of supporters but they don't seem to want buy memberships?

If they showed up during the home and away season we could make the G our fortress.

Each to their own, but I hateĀ the cringe worthy artificial nonsense other teams use after goals. Much prefer to hearĀ genuine crowd support then that rubbish.Ā

Agree. That nonsense with Hawthorn and the fireworks was ridiculous.

I like Robbo,but at our home games heĀ hostsĀ stupid sprinting or spekky competitions, instead of revving up the Demon supporters.

I agree with previous posters who urge us to try to build up the ā€œcauldron of hatredā€ that interstate clubs, Etihad clubs, and even MCG tenant clubs develop at their home ground.

Geelong have been perennial finalists, however mediocre their list, by having 8-10 games a year with enormous home ground advantage.

iSimilarly for SA, and WA clubs, with 11 games per year with that huge advantage.

And....We MUST stop selling home games!!

Onfield success willĀ Ā draw more money from sponsors than the money gained from selling games to NT.

Lets have a few easy home games at the G against Bris ,GC. and Ā Freo, where they have to put up with a stadium with no one supporting them.

It would help to occasionally play WCE and Adelaide at home, too.

All that artificial crap, add the EssenDung air raid siren, is just further Americanisation of our game.

If you want that synthesised nonsense, go to the basketball. Ā Or 20/20 cricket, or the ridiculous preseason game with the sparklers and rectangular field (can’t even remember what it was called. - JLT or maybe IDC)

Edited by monoccular

Just keep winning, get more Friday night games, convert some of the new attendees into members and the rest willĀ follow.


If there was a roof at Optus stadium yesterday it would have blown off.

It was incredible.Ā

I agree. However my 5yo son who started coming to games regularly this year winders why we don't have anything after our goals when every other team does. Markets are changing we may have to change with them.

The Meth Coke board got exactly Ā what they wanted, should have been 100,000 seets though. Bad mistake

yeah so much agree

which is worse.... ZooomĀ  or Woof Woof and they go on

The MCG is a difficult ground for atmosphere as even a crowd of 40k is almost lost. Better than 20k at Docklands which is so cold and dark because of the roof closure policy.

50k is just right as it creates artificial demand... as much if not more can be made from such a stadium.

You have to remember that Perth Park (Optus) is not owned by WCE or the AFL. Took a long time for the stadium deal to be done. I would love to know the final details.

As an aside the stadium owners have refused to allow the two goal ends to be named after football players as they want to play down the AFL side of things and promote it as a multi use stadium.

Brings back memories of the guy who ran Docklands when it first opened who said we would have to get used to anew way of going to the football. Lasted about six weeks if I recall.

I agree with most of that, but 100,000 seats would be a strong case to move a Grand Final. I am glad it won’t be, but they ruined a great opportunityĀ 

Meth Coke have a huge membership waiting list

Agree but with showers 13 and windy forecast for Saturday a warm day final is mildly appealing ?

The old must have the GF where "the most people" can see it is a bit of a furphy when theĀ  stadium is pre booked byĀ  permanent stakeholders.

Anyway given the 40 year deal it's a little academic

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.Ā

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
